Rurality Wednesday Blog Hop #13 - Dogwoods and Rain

I never got around to posting the obligatory spring blooms this year. Don't know why, just didn't. The Dogwood and Redbuds are my favorite, and they have almost completely disappeared, changing from pretty flowers, to their leaves of green.

We've had a couple of days of rain. A lot of rain. So much that the James River is flooding. Still more expected today. Braden and Dalton's elementary school lost power yesterday morning. They kept the kids in school but they all had to sit in the hallways and read. As of last night the power still hadn't been restored, so school is closed for them today.

The James River in Buchanan. I didn't take this photo. Snatched it off the news station's Facebook page. See those signs? Those are sitting in a big parking lot. You can't tell though since it's covered in water. We rent canoes to the right of this photo in the summer time and take a nice float down the James. This photo was taken this morning. It's supposed to crest by noon today.

Love the dogwood photo. Really great shot! We've had a lot of rain lately as well and have had some flooding. Of course last year we had a drought, and the year before that we had floods. I guess next year will be another drought!

I just love dogwoods. I miss them since moving to Florida. I several large trees up north and always made a point of cutting branches for inside the house.I am your newest GFC.Have a wonderful week,Bev@ Eclectic Red Barn
